OH, I watched that earlier this morning!! Syd does do that also with me. Ive decided that when Syd is out, that I cover Roxys cage until I figure out what to do next. His aggression towards me when he is near Roxy is unacceptable to me.

I once had a pair of cordon bleu finches, and remember their mating dance. I was watching Sydney (male TAG do not have a female) and thought,OMG!!! Sydney ripped apart one of his toys to get the sisal rope out, and shredded it into a ball...then carried it around the cage looking for a place to put it!!! Is this why when he is around Roxy (also male) he lets Roxy preen him until feathers are pulled out, and gets aggressive with me??? He HAS done a little dance for me, as well as regurgitated. ACK!!!!! Is this my "lightbulb moment"??? haha!!

Well, the funny thing is that Roxy does not seem to mind that Syd is on his cage. Syd is the one that gets REALLY nasty when he is on ROXYS cage. I did try, last night to let them both out. Syd flew over to Roxys cage (I was standing on alert with gloves on) and Syd tried to bite Roxys NECK!!! I freaked out. WHAAA. It makes me scared and sad!!

Hi All, I need some advice from you all!!! Sydney (TAG) has been flying over to Roxys (Quaker) cage. At first it was cute and harmless, but Syd has bit Rox through the cage bar (nipped his foot) When Syd is over there, he gets VERY aggressive towards anyone near the cage, and starts screaming, waving his head and trying to bite us. When I show him the perch to step onto, he attacks it. OK, The obvious is to not let syd over there, right? SHould I move one of their cages away, so syd cant get there or see Rox? They are both flighted. When I cut Roxys flight feathers, he really trashes the rest of his feathers by falling all over the place. WHY the aggressiveness? It is so uncharacteristic of him. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!

Roxy picked at his for quite some time, determined little guy!! Syd is MUCH more picky. I have a hard time getting him to eat any cooked or raw fruits and veggies, except for sugar snap peas.

Sydney is "officially" a boy!!!!! I knew it, ahhhhh, my baby boy!

That is SO exciting!!! Cant wait for the next episode!!

Im waiting not so patiently!! LOL!! I should know today!!!:ohmy:

well, the only reason it worked is because of your generous help!! Thannks again :kiss:

OMG, their reaction was hysterical. Totally excited, then complete disgust. Threw it on the floor.:blink:

Good Lord, I live in Northern WI, and outside, in the winter, it is not unusual to be -20. We have a woodstove also in the living room, and a heater near the FIDS. Humidifiers and air purifiers run rampant, too. The heated perch is a GREAT idea. I have seen them, but really never thought of it before. With all this stuff plugged in, I am sure we will blow a fuse.

Thats an AWESOME name, Gen. Grey!! love it!

My boys LOVE peas. So, I am sitting on the couch, munching what I feel to be the best snack ever invented, and they are looking at me like "UM, we would like some peas, please" Can they eat them?

Well, I will find out today or tomorrow if Syd is actually a boy!! The "Baby" I am thinking of homing is actually a boy, and we thought she was a girl. SO, my question is, with more than one, do opposite sex pairs get along better than same sex? Is boy/boy better or worse than girl/girl? (that sounds really weird, sorry ):blink: Thanks!!!!

Of COURSE he is handsome haha. I actually call him Syd, or Syddi. I know, its silly I typically only call him Sydney when he is being naughty. :silly:
